RE: Telephone meeting between attorney, Mr. Rajiv S. Khanna and Mr. Paul Baurer, the Legislative Correspondent for Congressman Robert Andrews, spoke regarding the support "to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for the admission to the United States for permanent residence without numerical limitation of spouses of permanent resident aliens." (Bill
# H.R. 539).

Mr. Khanna spoke with Mr. Baurer, who has agreed to assist us in our grassroots campaign.
Mr. Baurer advised us to do the following:
1. Prepare a petition that only consist of signatures of individuals
supporting the H.R. 539 Bill, based on their respective Congressional District. He believes that this would have a greater impact and would more likely get the attention of the individual Congress members, as it can prove that there are many individuals in their District concerned about this issue.
2. Muster the support of the members of the Sub-Committee: Currently, the H.R. 539 is in the Sub-Committee for review, and therefore, it would be better to contact these members and do our best to have them support the H.R. 539 Bill. Mr. Baurer will provide our office with a list of the members in the Sub-Committee.
In conclusion, Mr. Baurer said that we may not have the necessary support in the current 108th Congress for the H.R. 539 Bill. However, we should continue to do our best to lobby the Congressional members, so that it may be passed in the 109th Congress next year. He strongly emphasized the importance of constituents in meeting with their local Congress members, to
gain support for H.R. 539 Bill.
Thank you,
